Overview
Kuna combines DIY outdoor security hardware (a Wi-Fi camera, motion sensor, and two-way intercom) integrated into discreet outdoor light fixtures that install using existing wiring. The Kuna app sends real-time alerts when motion is detected, letting users view video, speak to visitors, and trigger a siren or pre-recorded messages. Revenue comes from hardware sales plus tiered Kuna Premium subscriptions that add cloud storage, unlimited video downloads, and Kuna AI for smarter alerts and customizable motion zones. Its edge comes from retrofit-ready lighting designs that don’t require new holes or power lines, easy installation, and scalable cloud features for preventive home security.
